Material magnificence, elegant color, and a sense of compositional wonder infuse the silk wares and decor of New York–based Kyriaki. Founded by Kyriaki Drakotos, the brand's pieces translate inspiration from antique fabric designs, wallpaper, the natural world, and more.
Kyriaki is a collection of hand-painted silk scarves and home objects with intricate motifs and hidden initials that echo the world around us. Once stitched on silk robes, négligées, and handkerchiefs left for lovers, these elusive letters are more than mere monograms. They are revealed from shadows, transforming into butterflies, waves, and branches in sensuous color. The Kyriaki world is surreal and enchanted. There is nothing too curious, too fantastic. Kyriaki is a romance between the fabric and the artist, the artist and the patron, the patron and their friend, a darling, or even oneself. It is a connection, a memory, a dream. Kyriaki is a love story, if there ever was one.
